Answer

$3$

Work Step by Step

Here, $\lim\limits_{x \to \infty} f(x)=\lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \dfrac{\sqrt {9x+1}}{\sqrt {x+1}}$ This implies that $\lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \dfrac{\sqrt {9x+1}}{\sqrt {x+1}}=\sqrt{\lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \dfrac{9x+1}{x+1}}$ or, $ \sqrt{\lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \dfrac{9x+1}{x+1}(\dfrac{1/x}{1/x})}=\sqrt{\lim\limits_{x \to \infty} \dfrac{9+1/x}{1+1/x}}$ Thus, $\sqrt {\dfrac{9+0}{1+0}}=3$
